Police tape and evidence markers denoting bullet casings were put up right outside the front steps of the Allens home. It was the third fatal shooting in a month that occurred within 100 yards of Donovan's home. The suspect in the shooting returned to the scene driving a minivan and surrendered to police, who recovered a gun from the vehicle.
